Marcus is #10.

Hartson is TQ in 3 classes, dude's on fire. Kody's is TQ in 2wd SCT.

I think the AE boys are looking to make a statement. Wish I could watch the races live.
Not to squeal on Marcus but I think he switched to his Durango after 2 qualifiers

Have you spaced up the inner ball studs of the camber links? if not try 4mm front and rear.

I encourage you to get a center diff.
Just want to say thanks for the info. I am back in love with my truck this weekend....lol. I set the truck up per you guys recommendations and ... WoW. It was awesome. But I only had 2mm of spacers for the ball studs. I have some on order to try the 4mm. If the center diff and 2stage pistons will make it even better, then I am in for them..

Thanks again!

I just purchased the hi-tec hs-4646water proof servo for my sc4x4 and the wire from the servo to the receiver comes out of the side of the servo getting in the way of the servo mount . any ideas on how to get around this or should i just return it and get another sevo? and what type of servo do you recommend? trying to stay around $50.
thanks

For those wondering how the diff mod with the extra bearing holds up I can say it's worth it. I had close to 10 hours run time on my front diff and it was still a 1/4 full. Action was still good but I new the oil would be nasty. Cleaned it refilled it. No significant wear on the bushing. Just replaced the seals on the outdrive and called it good. Even the washer under the sun gear was fine. I'll probably have to wear out the teeth on diff housing before replacing it.
now to read up some more on that Durango I have coming

Go to the hardware store and get some 3mm nuts to thread on the ball stud. That will give you about 2.5 mm. Add from there.

Will do. Waiting for Marcus to send my V2 diff upgrade and then get some run time and maintenance on the Durango for comparison. I really only have one track to run on so it will be limited. Both will have comparable upgrades and be run back to back by a couple different people.
